I'm watching Trigun right now. It's #4, the hostage episode. I like this one. Especially since epsidoe 5 is when things start to get serious. For a long time I wondered why the first 4 peisodes were mostly comedy, and that the dramatic storyline doesn't really beign until 5&6, and I eventually realized that episodes 1-4 were all about character building, about not only introducing Vash, the insurance girls, and the planet civilization, but also to deliberately get you used to the outward characterization of Vash and how everyone (insurance girls and bounty hunters) perceives him. Then when you're comfortable, they start to muddy the waters. And things only get more into gray-area after that.
